    I haven't problem with the speed. I'd like to set up DMA to the disk and
    the -d switch (using_dma) causes the panic. With vanilla 2.6.0-test9
    everything works fine, no speed problem. But if I boot up with -mm1, I
    have to work without DMA on hde. And another interesting thing: hdparm
    -d1 /dev/hdd works fine, so the problem is somewhere in the siimage
    driver. I don't know exactly what changed, but something has been
    corrupted around the driver.
